Agreed, however trading is an unsociable life. Yeah on ET you can txt chat but the bottom line for the vast majority trading is a solitary endeavour. A solitary existance is not ideal, you can go mad, turn insane. With business employment, mostly it involves needing to interact with others face to face which is a good thing.
you never, ever, go on a trading site and proclaim that trading is a pipe dream people will flip their shit
And posts meaningless (what's the other word?) oh yea absurd academic studies from the ivy league types who not only can't trade but can't teach others to trade. Fahgetaboutit.
No not really. As long as you have strong reserve and keep everything real, solitary existence can give you peace and can be enlightening. Many great thinkers and philosophers and religious leaders reached their epiphany in solitude.
